Wrinkles Before Sheeding?

mister_pokey Jul 12, 2004 03:00 PM

I noticed today my 4 month old Ambanja Panther cham . that when he climbs, there is this slight wrinkle along the skin on his upper back (along the spine if you will) in appears on both sides. also very slight wrinkles around his arms (arm pits i guess). like i said before its not visable all the time, mostly while he is climbing, but also when he is still in certian ways..

***After I finished typing this out i checked my enclousure to find him in full shedding, this might be the reason*** replys still apreciated.

ive noticed the same thing in my 4 month old nosy, it doesnt seem to have anything to do with shedding though. seems like its noticable when his body is twisted into weird positions (ie when climbing)
